I went with the US because I figured it would be comparable in price, and probably quieter, quicker and cleaner for apartment life. This is all just reading though with no real life experience, so I cold be wrong. My friend who has forging experience has an additional vibratory tumbler for me if...
Thank you for the tips! What are the benefits of the RCBS Lockout Die over the Powder Cop? I did end up buying a powder cop off from Ebay with a custom pole indicator thingy that was being sold by an old reloader for $13 to start off with.
Ha! I can see that happening! Well, maybe not out-shooting him (I'll be the first to admit I am not the greatest shot and could definitely use some lessons), but he WAS naysaying first the patient pick up of dirty brass at the range, but then had an oddly keen interest in sorting it with me in...
